New Product Lineup

The three products address critical gaps in disease management, pest control, and weed management for major crops — factors that directly influence agricultural yields and farmer profitability. Each product brings a distinct formulation approach tailored to specific crop and field requirements:

Product Highlights

Mylonis is a patented fungicide combining Azoxystrobin, Isoprothiolane, and Mancozeb, designed to tackle the most challenging diseases in rice — sheath blight, blast (including multiple strains), and grain discolouration. Beyond disease suppression, Mylonis strengthens plant health, enhances grain quality, and supports resistance management strategies.

Salix Gold reflects Atul's advanced manufacturing capability in high-purity technical grade production. This 2,4-D sodium salt-based water-dispersible granules formulation provides post-emergence weed control, effectively targeting broadleaf weeds and sedges in rice production systems across India. While currently focused on domestic markets, the company is actively exploring commercial opportunities in select international regions.

Tikadis, a patented seed treatment formulation, combines Azoxystrobin, Carbendazim, and Thiamethoxam to deliver day-one defence against soil-borne pests and pathogens in groundnut and soybean. Field trials demonstrate that Tikadis promotes robust seed germination, strengthens root nodule development for improved plant vigour, and ensures uniform pod development.
